20% off if you buy the Turing Machine Ultimate bundle AND the Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb kit together. 15% discount off the Turing Machine Ultimate bundle. We have the last few of the ALM SID GUTS kits in stock too.
I’ve also reduced the Free Shipping level in the UK. Free shipping on all UK orders over 215 GBP inc Vat. Free shipping on all Worldwide orders over 300 GBP.
It’s nearly that time of year again. Come hang out with loads of friendly musicians, sound designers, modular geeks and manufacturers.
Equally welcoming to those bringing a mountain of gear or those coming empty-handed but with a head full of questions.
Parking is free and only metres from the venue, you don’t have to battle Brighton traffic to get there. Sussex Uni is a quiet and relaxed environment. Public transport from Brighton is also easy, it’s one quick train from Brighton station and a short walk through the campus.
Naturally it’s a great place to check out Thonk kits and gear too.
Tables are provided, bring your own speakers and headphones. There is a supermarket, cash machine, cafe and restaurant on site.
We have new Synthrotek stuff in stock. The Atari Punk Console is new to Thonk, this things spits out some really raw chiptune type tones. We also have a restock of the EKO delay PCB and Panels too.
A restock of the 4MS PEG kits are about 3 weeks away, so do join the wishlist if you want to snag one of those. Also in about 4 weeks we will be stocking kits from RYO – Roll Your Own.
We have new kits to suit all price ranges and abilities this week.
First we have the Circuit Abbey ‘4×4 Mult’ Kit. This is the perfect kit for beginners. It’s simple and quick to construct, inexpensive & doesn’t require any special tools; just a soldering iron and solder.
I have just opened a new Wishlist for the Strakal Brulu, a fantastic Germanium Fuzz module kit from TouellSkouarn. It uses two vintage Soviet NOS Germanium Transistors and it is a dirty, dirty thing.
It’s going to be produced in a very limited batch and the vintage components need to be tested and graded one by one before packing in kits.
Due to this it’ll be released in small batches which will be offered up to people in the order they join the wishlist.
Firstly we have this fantastic Japanese IC Extractor tool. Whilst preparing the SID GUTS DIY kits it became clear that an IC extractor tool becomes fairly indispensable for pulling chips with 28 pins (there are two on the SID). My Tool OCD led me to try loads of the cheaper tools out there and frankly… they all suck! This precision Japanese tool is head and shoulders above the rest so seemed like a perfect addition to the store. This tool will be made available as a specific option on the SID GUTS DIY kit at a reduced price, so if you’re waiting for SID you might want to hold off buying it… we’re very close.
Next up are these brass knob inserts, these are the same internals you’ll find in the Davies 1900h clone knobs I stock, these are the perfect base to DIY your own knobs from wood, clay, sugru.. or even 3d printed? They are also an adequate solution to fitting a knob in a very small space.
Red and Blue Emerson Banana Jacks are back in stock and I now have bulk discounts on Red, Blue and Black banana jacks.
It’s a while since we’ve done an update on new stock, future stock and restocks. So deep breath…
Synthrotek EKO Delay PCB+Panel+Chip – Compact digital emulation of a ‘bucket brigade’ style delay/echo with feedback. With CV control in 4hp.
Manhattan Analog CP3 Mixer PCB+Panel – The Manhattan Analog clone of the classic Moog Modular CP3 mixer. With an old school sound that drives low pass filters in a really musical way. It’s the dirty buddy to the clean MIX…
Manhattan Analog MIX PCB+Panel – The Manhattan Analog 3 channel hi-fi mixer. A simple, modern, clean and low noise design.
We’re very happy to add a new PCB manufacturer to Thonk this weekend, the mighty CGS and their official Serge Modular boards. Some new products and some restocks.
We’re spending the next month regrouping, stocktaking, finishing the new Thonk website and preparing lots of great stuff for sale in late Jan early Feb.
Coming very soon :

The ‘Rare Parts Kit’ for the TTSH project sold out this morning, purely to customers on the original wishlist.
If you want a chance to purchase a kit in the next batch then don’t forget to sign up for the wishlist here. In the interests of fairness the kits were limited to one kit per customer, I may remove this limitation for the next batch.
Big savings on our newly refreshed Davies 1900h clone range.
Normally you’d have to buy 100 knobs to get these prices.
Yellow, Pink and Violet even cheaper than that!
While sales stock lasts or until 1st Jan 2014.
The Spring Reverb kit goes on sale in a couple of hours, In the meantime i’ve added a whole bunch of Jack and wiring options today, including new products for the 4U crew.
The THONKICONN jack, essentially a fully vertical clone of the popular Kobiconn jack. A big bonus for the developers out there – this one is it fits neatly into breadboards and stripboard![/three_fourth_last][one_fourth padding=”0px 0px 0px 0px”][/one_fourth][three_fourth_last padding=”0px 0px 0px 0px”]
